    This sucks.

    How can I not think it's drugs?

    Yeah I am not gonna lie. There was a time in my life 25+ years ago when I drank heavily and would take any illicit drug put in front of me. Through CBT I realized I was self medicating. I learned how to "deal" with things without being altered and my life got exponentially better in all aspects...

    How can I not think it's drugs?

    Not really sure but especially in the state I moved to, it seems like every single person I know is using something to deal with life.

    How can I not think it's drugs?

    The typical response I get when talking to other musicians is things like "Well Jimi and Clapton and yada yada played wasted"| Yeah! Those people are/were exceptional musicians.

    How can I not think it's drugs?

    Oh most certainly. One band I am in the guys average 65 years old and 3 of them do mushrooms every weekend.

    How can I not think it's drugs?

    Another project down the tubes due to someone prioritizing drugs over music. I have been doing the band thing for over 30 years now and in all honesty, 90+ percent of the problems I have run in to can be easily traced to drugs and/or booze in some form or other. I am a supporter of full...

    Hey Helix users..

    Outstanding! I know the journey too. I went from full to LT to HXFX to Pod Go back to LT. Same reason as you I couldn't do the limited DSP. I have a catchall patch that covers 95% of everything I do or will do. Not going to lie though I am on the FM9 waiting list. Fractal it seems is releasing...

    Is it worth buying a Friedman pedal?

    Yeah the lack of definition thing is what made me return the one I got. Great for classic metal though! I ended up with the 5150 by MXR when I was searching for a single high gain OD pedal and was pretty happy with it.

    You absolutely nailed it on all counts. Totally agree.

    i dont get the hype

    Funny you mentioned Bad Cat. I bought a Hot Cat 30 head years ago when the boutique thing was starting to really hit hard and I absolutely hated that amp. Which for me segues into something I don't get and never got. Cranking a Class A amplifier until it sounds like it's puking on itself. That...

    Yeah I don't have any plans to dump my analog gear. Maybe pare down the pedals some. Of the 40 or so pedals I have I'd say over 20 of them are overdrives. There are maybe 3 or 4 of them that I really like.

    Oh it's almost night and day comparatively from 2.9 to 3.1. It really depends on how you use it. I noticed the difference most when using it direct to PA or FRFR. It was a blanket update that increased oversampling which increased sound quality and feel overall.

    I am retired from the workforce so I have the spare time. Both of the Tributes are brand new but there will be videos down the road for sure. I use the Park 75 brt amp for most stuff and goose it with TS and OCD.

    We are definitely living in the Golden Age of guitar gear.

    I'm actually kinda sad..Helix content

    Very cool I loved the HX Effects when I had it. I just decided to try and go all in with direct to PA. I have used Helix LT off and on since 2018 and it wasn't til the 3.0 update where I was able to go fully in. I spent a lot of time with 3.0 (Beta testing) before it was released so I have a...

    I am in 2 Tribute Bands. I suppose I could use just a 100w head and a half stack with a few pedals as those 2 are similar. Dio and Judas Priest. At the moment I am in 5 bands. 6 if I count the remote recording project I am involved in.

    I still own about 40 analog pedals and 17 amps, and one of the things I enjoy doing is putting together a pedal board. I call it musicians lego's. It's kind of therapeutic to sit down and pick out 7-10 pedals and assemble them in an order that I think will work well, then get all the wires...

    Peavey Valveking 112 - Pleasantly Surprised

    Yep for sure. As soon as Hartley handed it over to his son-in-law, that company was dead to me as far as new stuff goes. I mean he was outsourcing overseas before that but they went all out as soon as he took over. If I run into good deals on the used market I will still buy Peavey but I won't...

    Something different and I find myself considering it

    Was/is there any difference between the ones with the brown face and the black face? I have wanted one of those MOSFET Lead 100's for a long time. Just curious.
